<http://www.aahahelpingpets.org/home/>"The heartbreak happens all too
often ? a pet owner is unable to afford
treatment and their sick or injured companion animal pays the price.
"If the owner is elderly, disabled or on a fixed income, the cost of
care may be too much of a stretch for their pocketbook.
"Perhaps they have been victimized by crime, property loss or a job
layoff and are experiencing a temporary financial hardship making it
too
difficult to afford pet care.
"And some animals, brought to clinics
by Good Samaritans, don't have an owner to pay for treatment.
"Whatever the situation, the fact remains the same: When sick or
injured
animals
are unable to receive veterinary care, they suffer.
"Through the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, veterinary care is possible for
sick or injured pets even if they have been abandoned or if their owner
is
experiencing financial hardship."
<http://www.angels4animals.org/>"Angels4Animals, a non-profit
organization and a program of Inner
Voice Community Services, has a mission to serve as the guardian angel
of animals whose caretakers find themselves in difficult financial
situations.
"At Angels4Animals we believe that animal owners should not have to
say
goodbye to the animals that they love.
"Our work is accomplished in conjunction with veterinary clinics
across
the country, eager to assist as many animals, and their owners, as
possible.
"Our services range from financial aid to complete treatment to those
pets and pet owners in need."
<http://www.fveap.org/sys-tmpl/door/>"The NEED & The HELP:
Seniors, People with disabilities, People who have
lost their job, Good Samaritans who rescue a cat or kitten - any of
these folks may need financial assistance to save a beloved
companion."
"The Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program is a nonprofit
501
(c)(3) organization that provides financial assistance to cat and kitten
guardians who are unable to afford veterinary services to save their
companions when life-threatening illness or injury strikes."
<http://www.help-a-pet.org/home.html>"Our efforts focus on serving
the elderly, the disabled, and the working
poor. For lonely seniors, physically/mentally challenged individuals
and
children of working parents, pets represent much more than a diversion."
"Helping people help pets. To better the lives of sick, injured and
abused companion animals. We are dedicated to insure that no companion
animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is
financially challenged."
<http://thepetfund.com/>"The Pet Fund is a registered
501(c)3 nonprofit association that
provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need
urgent veterinary care.
"Often animals are put down or suffer
needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or
emergency vet visits.
"Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to
put
an animal down or neglect urgent medical
needs because of the costs involved.
"The purpose of the Pet Fund is to work towards a future where decisions
about companion animal medical care need never be made on the basis of
cost."
<http://www.uan.org/lifeline/index.html>"The mission of LifeLine is to
help homeless or recently rescued animals
suffering from life-threatening conditions that require specific and
immediate emergency veterinary care.
"We strive to serve Good Samaritans and rescue groups who take in
sick
or injured
animals. In certain cases, LifeLine can also assist senior citizens and
low-income families pay for immediate emergency veterinary care."
<http://www.petloversonline.co.uk/financial.htm>"Most of us can cope with the
financial commitment involved in the day
to day care of our pets. However, how many of us come out in a cold
sweat when our pet is ill or injured and we know we have to take it to
the vet?
"Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to afford it but, some of
us
who love our animals dearly cannot.
"Unfortunately we do not have a PDSA or a RSPCA Center within our
area,
but there are a few charities who may be able to help."
<http://www.handicappedpets.com/Articles/help/>"From time to time,
HandicappedPets.com recognizes a caretaker of
handicapped pets that need some special attention, and a little extra
help.
"There are those who are so selflessly dedicated to their animal
families that they give up a little more than they can afford."
